Gemini and a Scorpio

I am a Gemini with Pisces moon rising who met this Scorpio awhile back. We known each other, we first started texting and stuff and we always had plans to meet up but he would usually cancelled because he was working. It was a Friday and we were both off of work and school and agreed to meet up. And god was he treetrunking hot and older too! And sparks flew, we hit off pretty well. I could tell from the fist time meeting that he was an intense, passionate person. I had never met anyone like him before and it intrigued me; he was a magnet that I couldn't help get drawn in. Of course we had sex, and it was amazing; he was always the dominate and in control. I can be very submissive, but I am not weak at all; I just like it when people take control over me. But whatever. This went on for about a couple of weeks and then he went out of town. While he was gone, I had realized how much I really liked this guy a lot more than I anticipated. He was like nobody that I have ever met. I wanted it to go to the next level and date and hopefully lead into a long-term relationship despite our age difference. And I did, and he agreed. So we were dating.
I saw him a couple of times a week because he was working a lot and within the government programs and stuff; he took me to his apartment, he took me to go eat and we went hiking once. It was the most wonderful experience for me, and I realized how hard I had fallen for this guy.
The first problem started when I saw his FB page and I saw his profile pic was of him and his ex. I didn't make a big deal about and stuff and didn't mention to him about it because I thought it was silly. But one day, he took me to this house he said watching over while his brother was out of town. We ended up having sex in the bedroom but afterwards I realized all this pictures of him and his ex; and then I realized he took me to his ex-boyfriend place. I asked him about but he kept denying it and saying that his ex was a big marker; so I just let it go. But I kept my guard up. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt because there was something about this guy.
Of course being both a Gemini (dual-minded twins) and Pisces (dual-hearted fishes) I was really conflicted and torn about the situation I was. I'm usually really intuitive and physic when it came to knowing people; like being around them long enough I would know alot about them more than they let on. But with him, it was really difficult because he was so private.

So the only person I could talked to was with my friend because he was alot older and had more experience in the whole dating thing. He completely understood everything and told me to just to wait it out. And that's what exactly I did, I didn't want to jump into any conclusions and make a fool out of myself and possibly ruin a potential relationship which was something I was looking for. Unfortunately my friend and I kinda had falling out that turned sorta nasty but of course I apologized and tried to make things right. He wouldn't have it and I havent heard from him in a while.
About a week later, my Scorpio picked me up and took me to this little lake and parked the car. And he then he began telling me about how him and his ex are broken up and that they havent told anybody about it including one of his closes friend. He then told me that somebody was talking to his friend about me and my Scorpio. I already knew who it was and I tried to play it off like I didn't know anything about it. Of course I could tell he saw right through that but he didnt say anything. I needed to to deal with my friend. We argued, said so more horrible stuff and I just threatened him to mind his own business and stop snooping around.It wasnt till the next week when my Scorpio emailed me to stop contacting him and stuff like that. I knew deep down that my friend somehow got in touch with the ex, he is just the type of person to do that. I explained to my Scorpio about everything and he said he just needed some time to let things cool down. Two months past, and I met him and things were sorta normal. He said he had alot on his plate and things were alot easier if he was single and not dealing with the responsibilities of a relationship; and said to give him time. (I understood because we talked about this before.) But we still see each other, and still having sex and stuff but I just want more than that. What do I do? I want to stick around to show him that I really do care.
Do Scorps usually keep in touch with their exes? And I am just afraid that he hasn't gotten over it and just waiting to "sting" back even though we still close and things got back to normal. I just need to know what I have to do to make things right?

Hi geminiboy. I'm also a Gem with a Pisces moon and I'm married to a Scorpio. I don't really know if I'm going to be helpful or not, but here are 2 observations:

1) I've noticed that Scorps generally mean what they say, so you will want to go by what he says and not what he does for an indication of what's going on. My ex was also a Scorpio, and even though we continued to have sex after he let me know he wasn't looking for a relationship any longer, he still meant what he said. I wanted to believe that we were back together, since things felt the same for me as before, but that was not his interpretation at all.

2) Scorps are very offended when you talk about their business to other people. They're allowed to talk about it, but you absolutely are not.

I wonder if you would have more luck if you post this to the Scorpio board? I've found that the folks over there give really good, compassionate, advice and are very willing to help.
